Camel Trek in Zagora Desert 6days
This camel trek in the Zagora region opens up to all forms of desert between the tapered dunes, the rocks blackened by the scorching of the sun, the ergs and the shaded of acacias, the canyons widening out on magnificent panoramas overlooking the Draâ valley …
Immersion in this nearby desert makes it possible to make a break in a few days with our habits of life to find the immense spaces of the desert and the starry nights where silence remains.
